While County management is responsible for managing risk by implementing strong business processes and internal controls, Internal Audit aids in the assessment of risks. The Risk Assessment report describes the County's risk environment and shows how the County Auditor prioritizes audit areas and develops an annual audit plan for approval by the County Board of Supervisors.

The Internal Audit Department Performance Report is produced annually to provide the Board of Supervisors, the Citizen's Audit Advisory Committee, County leadership, and the citizens with information about Internal Audit's performance, accomplishments and results achieved during the fiscal year.
